Hello dear callers.
I have a question about when a caller brings up a recent passing during a public dance.
When Kim Yerton passed, I heard about it the day before and grieved. The next day the
caller dedicated a dance to her and I almost had to leave the dance. Left the line to get
away from listening to the words about Kim. I realize this is my own reaction and
sensitivity.
Wondering what y’all say on mic about a recent passing and dedication, as it could be a
surprise to some dancers?
At a recent ECD weekend, the caller dedicated a dance to Christine Robb and said to dance
it with appreciation and joy as that is what she would’ve wanted instead of grief and
sorrow.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
